I installed EndItAll, and the first night the PC shut down normally. The next night, it didn't. So, I have been using EndItAll each night since. Yesterday, I launched EndItAll to see what programs were running. Most I didn't recognize, and I'm leary about just deleting programs when I don't know anything about them. I did delete a couple that I suspect were probably problem apps. Last night, I was able to shut down without launching EndItAll. We'll see if that continues.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions.
